Difftastic 0.36 is out! In this release: * Better diffs: Punctuation is now treated separately in the cost model * Nicer display: Changes in comments are now underlined too * New languages: Hare, Pascal and QML * Smarter detection of binary files

@cstanhope Interesting, I didn't know that about Pascal! Go does make returning an accumulator a little more concise. Compare with e.g. Python: def foo(): res = [] # not needed in Go for x in y: if z: res.append(x) return res That's the biggest advantage I can see though.

A recent release of Free Pascal has a rather interesting behaviour for its list implementation. Lists grow additivitely (rather than multiplicatively) above 128MiB, trading off computational complexity for trying to avoid out-of-memory issues! https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.0.4#TList_auto-growth
